Stamina Folding Trampoline with Smart Workout App, Black - Portable Fitness Rebounder for Home Gym, Cardio & Strength Training, Jumping Exercise Equipment

UPDATE: 15 days of using this just to get my blood pumping because I do so much work on the computer, and I am pleasantly surprised to find that I have lost a little over 2 pounds! I usually use it for 10 minutes at a time, at least 3 times per day (just before mealtime, usually). I've also notice that my cardio fitness has improved. I don't wear myself out on the trampoline - I just put some Motown music on and bounce to the beat - it doesn't seem like much effort, but apparently, it's enough for overall health improvements in a very short time. ORIGINAL REVIEW: By the time I was done reading all of the warnings, etc, I must confess, I was scared of severe injury or death and started having doubts about whether I even wanted to try it! I got it so that I could get some low-impact cardio as a way to break up the vast amount of time that I must spend on the computer (my job - but I mostly work from home). Going to the gym is great, but it's a minimum of 2 hours out of my day which is not always reasonable. Going for a walk is also great, but not always feasible (weather, etc). I looked into under-desk cyclers, etc, but I knew my knees would bang the underside of the desk (and it probably wouldn't add much cardio), so I decided to try the trampoline - it was very reasonably priced, and the reviews seemed good. Of course, it arrived on a day that I was home by myself, so I read all of the instructions where it says you must use 2 STRONG people to unfold it. I don't consider myself to be STRONG (they put the word STRONG in all caps - and I definitely don't consider myself STRONG in the all caps sense). In fact, they say you risk death if you try to unfold it by yourself as it could spring back and kill you - so you're supposed to get 2 STRONG people and hope that they trust each other enough that neither lets go while folding it back. I thought at first they might be over-exaggerating about how strong the tension was in the spring, but they weren't kidding - no way was I going to unfold this by myself without risking death...unless, as many of us weaklings discovered long ago, we use something as leverage. I took it outside and placed half of the trampoline under my porch railing - I fully trusted that my porch railing would not give way, and then pushed down on the other half of the trampoline railings until it popped open. It didn't appear completely locked in place, so I gingerly removed it, turned it right side up and pushed down on the rails until it was flat on the ground all the way around. I added the legs and then had fun figuring out how to get the protective coverring on it - the trick to getting that on by yourself is to hook one hole (there are 6 holes in the cover) over one of the leg threads, then screw on the leg to hold it in place. Pull it all the way across to the other side and do the same with that side. Then just work your way around.for each leg - it's actually pretty easy to do by yourself if you do it that way. So, within minutes I had it put together and jumping away! It seems quite sturdy and well-made, I think I will enjoy being able to get in some quick exercises while I'm working :) Oh, and there's no way I'm undoing it - it will stay open forever as far as I'm concerned...it's low enough to fit under a bed if you need to get it out of the way.

*Included: trampoline, padded support bar, bungee pull cords for arm exercises, electronic jump counter, exercise video, all hardware and tools necessary for assembly. *Parts: Oval jump pad, 6 feet with rubber bottoms (including two with predrilled holes to attach support bar legs), 6 bolts to attach the feet (one bolt per foot), 1 hex wrench (to attach each bolt to each foot), 2 wide vertical support bar legs with 2 bolts going through (to attach to predrilled feet; accepts the narrower adjustable height leg bars), 2 narrow vertical support bar legs with curved end (inserts into wider support bar legs, allowing height adjustment; curves to meet the horizontal support bar), 1 padded horizontal support bar (curves to meet the legs), 4 curved washers + 4 locking washers + 4 acorn nuts + wrench (to attach support leg to predrilled trampoline feet), bungee cords (for arm exercises; slips over foot on each end of the trampoline), battery powered jump counter and arm to attach counter, exercise CD in protective case *Pro • comes with the jump pad assembled, so needs only legs added. • Support bar, bungee pull cords, and jump counter optional. • jump pad very safe with no springs to pinch. • comes with all hardware and tools needed for assembly. Using own wrench or pliers would be easiest and more comfortable, however. • easy to assemble: 1) separate two legs that have predrilled holes and choose one of the long sides of the jump pad to insert them. 2) insert the other four legs, leaving two on each long side and one on each short side. You may choose to slide the two bungee pull cords onto the feet on each short side if desired, or place them later. If placing later, slip the rubber feet off of the trampoline foot on each narrow end of the trampoline, and slide the bungee pull cord on before reattaching rubber foot 3) over each foot, lift the edge of the trampoline pad covering to expose the area for screwing a single bolt into each of the six feet, using the included hex/allen wrench. 4-5) Assemble support bar, and attach support bar to trampoline. Choice a: Assemble support bar first, then bolt onto feet of trampoline. Choice b: Bolt each vertical support bar leg onto trampoline feet, then insert horizontal support bar between them. *Vertical legs have a welded nut to accomodate the height adjustment knobs, and face forward toward the trampoline pad. *The legs of the support bar bolt onto the trampoline feet with predrilled holes. *Attaching the vertical support legs to the trampoline: Leg has two bolts going through. a) Insert the bolts through the leg and through the predrilled holes of the feet, so that the leg stands beside the foot with a rounded separator between the two. b) add a curved, flat washer onto each bolt end that sticks out c) add a round ring locking washer next d) cap off with the acorn nut. May use included wrench but using own wrench or pliers would be more efficient and easier. *Assembling five pieces of support bar: a) insert end of padded horizontal bar into each curved vertical tube. Pinch in the springy buttons from the ends of the padded bar, and when inserted they pop out through the predrilled hole of the curved vertical tube. b) insert the vertical bottom of each curved tube into the wider mouth of each leg tube. c) Choose the height desired, and insert the height adjustment knob through the wider leg into the narrower leg. • adjustment knobs work great to hang the handles of the bungee pull cords from, keeping them off the ground and reducing tripping hazard. Con: • the knobs to adjust the support bar difficult to screw into place initially • the knobs to adjust the support bar can only face forward, but would look better and would eliminate the possibility of a jumping child scraping against them if the predrilled holes allowed them to face backward on the backside of the bars • rubber hose of the bungee pull cords will attract dust and hair Additional information: • comes in a very large box, which can be used nicely when building a fort, pup tent, roof of a play house, or as a painting or drawing surface before discarding. • people closer to 6' tall should not try to jump as high as they can if under an 8' ceiling. • not as long as a toddler bed, but almost. Can easily double as a toddler bed by adding a cut down mattress pad, then using a toddler sheet to cover. Pad can be stored beneath the trampoline during the day. If worried about rolling off, it is not far above the ground but if desired a bumper or net can be attached to the support bars. Bed idea can be extended by placing a crate or wooden box beside it to extend length, and having a mattress pad cover both the trampoline and the crate so that the pillow is on the trampoline and the feet on the crate or box. We do this and it works great! • though made for one person, a child can jump safely with an adult or with another child if holding onto the support bar. • if worried about strangulation hazard for younger children, do not attach bungee pull cords.

I love this trampoline! I have been using mine about 3-4 times a week for just over a month. I have never jumped before but thought it might be fun to jump. I do have a past injury to my knee (torn meniscus) so I've always been hesitant to do too much high impact activity. I have found jumping to be easy and I haven't had one problem with my knee yet. Pros - Easy set up. I know a lot of people say you need two people. Using my body weight I was able to unfold it on my own- and I definitely don't have much muscle. - The bounce is good- It's not too stiff, and not too flexible. - It has strong bands instead of springs - I feel my posture has gotten much better since I began jumping. - I feel jumping for 30 mins beats the elliptical any day! It feels easier, more fun, and I feel like I get a better workout. Cons - The silver cover is very hard to stretch onto the trampoline. You definitely will need two people to make it stretch. - The legs screw on and off- I wish they folded so I could store it under a bed or in the back of a closet. - Folding the tramp after every use is not reasonable because it's very difficult. - Size- If I had to purchase again, I would definitely buy a larger size. This one is great, but I'd like to step it up with more side to side motions. - It doesn't come with 80s hair, leg warmers, or a scrunchie which I think would be valuable. ;-) Overall, for the price I would definitely purchase this one again. It's holding up well and it feels good to jump on.

bought this trampoline thinking it would be a casual little bounce situation. what i didn’t expect was a full lifestyle intervention. my dog is OBSESSED. he lounges on it like it’s a cooling throne because the airflow underneath turns it into a luxury ventilation system. apparently it’s now his preferred summer hangout. fine. i live here too but whatever. for me? instant mood boost. i bounce for a few minutes and suddenly i’m happier, calmer, and convinced my lymphatic system is being personally thanked. is it placebo? maybe. do i care? absolutely not. i feel lighter, less puffy, and somehow morally superior after bouncing. also great for weight loss because it feels way easier than doing something “serious.” tricked my brain. love that. my only concern is that the price is suspiciously low, so every bounce comes with a tiny prayer that it doesn’t snap and send me through the ceiling or into a lawsuit with myself. so far so good. highly recommend if you want joy, airflow, lymphatic drainage, and a dog who thinks you bought furniture specifically for him. 10/10 bouncing until further notice.

Very sturdy and well made trampoline. I've had similar trampolines in the past (with metal springs) and I purchased this one because it was not made with metal springs. I think this is a great improvement in design. It's much quieter and I'm hoping it will last longer than other models I've had in the past. I also like that it's a little smaller in size and easier to stash away when not in use. Highly recommended.

After my old unit broke, I ordered this as a replacement. It has no springs, so my many-years of saving springs when a unit was replaced will not be used. This unit uses an elastic fabric material as connection to the frame. So far, it seems to hold up well, and frankly replacing the little coil springs on the prior units is a difficult exercise - I won't miss it. I weigh 230 pounds so this unit supports my weight well. Assembly was interesting - the instructions are complete and it all "works", but opening the unit takes a bit of "oomph", and you have to be careful that you don't lose control of it when partially open. Make sure whoever assists you has good arm strength if you do not - it can "bite" if you let go at the wrong time. Once assembled, the unit is very stable. I wouldn't ever try to fold it for storage, although I suppose that's possible, but it's too hard to get open and locked without help from someone else. The folding nature of the frame allowed the unit to be shipped in a very compact box, compared to the older fixed-frame units. All in all, after months of nearly daily use, it has held up well and at this price-point it is a real bargain, not to mention the folding nature makes it shippable when new, unlike the fixed-frame units that require a bit of jockeying to get into a car for transport from the store. Time will tell if the short elastic fabric attachments hold up, but it appears to be well constructed and I expect a long life.

The day Richard the trampoline arrived at my doorstep was nothing short of destiny knocking. My legs suddenly learned how to fly and my feet discovered what true freedom feels like. Each jump is a rebellion against gravity, which makes me feel unstoppable, like I’m defying gravity #elphabaisthecoolest. I come home every day eager to reunite with Richard who never fails to lift me up (hahahaha). Nothing could ever replace him. If my new joy in life had a sound I think it would be the rhythm of bouncing, and it’s at a price that is MYSTICAL🎵 MAGICAL🎵 # There's nothing colder than your shoulder When you're dragging me along Like you do, like you do And then you switch up with no warning And you kiss me like you want it How rude, how rude But I kinda like it anyways I don't mind if this is gonna take a million days I know you'll come around to me eventually If you sit back, relax, enjoy my company My company Once you know what my love's gonna feel like Nothing else will feel right You can feel like Moonbeam ice cream Taking off your blue jeans Dancing at the movies 'Cause it feels so mystical, magical, oh, baby 'Cause once you know, once you know My love is so mystical, magical, oh, baby 'Cause once you know, once you know My little hard-to-get baby I want to give you the world (ooh) Not saying you gotta chase me But I wouldn't mind it If you gave me just a little bit of Something we can work it with But all you do is push me out But I like it anyways 'Cause I think I'm getting closer to you every day I know you'll come around to me eventually Just sit back, relax, enjoy my company Oh, baby, trust me Once you know what my love's gonna feel like Nothing else will feel right You can feel like Moonbeam ice cream Taking off your blue jeans Dancing at the movies 'Cause it feels so mystical, magical, oh, baby 'Cause once you know, once you know My love is so mystical, magical, oh, baby 'Cause once you know, once you know (ooh) Once you know what my love's gonna feel like (ooh, ooh) Moonbeam ice cream, nothing else will feel right (ooh) Mystical, magical, oh, baby It's mystical, magical. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This little trampoline does what it's supposed to do, I guess. There really isn't much "give" to it. I watched some videos about other trampolines that really have a deep bounce to them. Seems to me that this one is like bouncing on a firm mattress. After I got it, I read in depth about mini rebounders in more detail, and was surprised to find they're supposed to be more for lymphatic health (really) than conventional exercise, but most videos touted exercise benefits. I used some exercise videos, and this does get your heart rate up, depending upon how much effort you put into it. I got it because I have knee (injury) and heel (plantar fasciits) issues, and was hoping it was no or very low impact. Maybe the bouncier ones are, but this one really wasn't. I found, though, that if bounced on it without actually leaving the surface, I was OK, and if I "ran in place" without leaving the surface it was pretty good exercise. My feet did start hurting after a short while. I watched some videos and read some articles about how to obviate foot pain, and tried to follow those directions explicitly, but it didn't work for me... maybe this is just a "me" thing and not a trampoline thing. I also read that stiffer rebounders were better for you than the softer, deeper ones. I also saw some "comparison videos," where people demonstrated this and other low-expense rebounders and compared them with the way more expensive ones (like the Bellicons), and this one always ranked on the low end of the scale by experienced rebounders, even in blinded tests. I have found that for me it's more useful for balance (I'm a real klutz). I rarely use it, but keep it in a high-traffic area of the house so that I periodically hop on it for a few minutes. I'm not particularly well-conditioned, so this experience could just be me and not a legit commentary on the quality of this product. It was easy to assemble. Probably the best feature it has is that my cats like to seek refuge under it when I'm messing with them. It IS exercise, and you WILL get your heart rate up, and I barely made it through a 30-minute workout (just used a free video on YouTube). If I had tried it out in store, not sure I would have purchased one. I was sort of hoping it'd be "fun." So again - it's not what I thought it was going to be, but this could just be personal and you might have different results. You might want to try one out in a store first.
